At Alperton Flowers, we recognise the vital importance of upholding human rights and ethical standards in every aspect of our business. As a trusted Alperton florist, serving households and businesses throughout the local community, we are committed to ensuring that modern slavery and human trafficking have no place within our operations or our supply chains. This statement outlines the steps we take to prevent modern slavery, demonstrating our dedication to integrity and responsibility as both employers and suppliers.
We have a strict zero tolerance policy towards all forms of modern slavery, including forced labour, human trafficking, servitude, and child labour. This policy applies to every part of our business and all relationships with suppliers and partners. Alperton Flowers expects all team members, contractors, and suppliers to share this commitment and maintain the highest ethical standards at all times.
We understand that our supply chain extends our responsibility beyond our shop doors. As such, Alperton Flowers carries out thorough due diligence when engaging new suppliers and reviews existing relationships on a regular basis. This process includes:
Any supplier found to be non-compliant with our expectations will be subject to review, and where necessary, relationships will be suspended or terminated promptly.
Prevention starts with awareness. All staff at Alperton Flowers receive training to help them identify and respond to signs of modern slavery and human trafficking. Our induction program underscores the importance of ethical conduct, and refresher sessions and updated resources are periodically provided to strengthen awareness across the team.
We are committed to creating a safe environment where individuals – whether staff, suppliers, or members of the public – feel confident to raise concerns about modern slavery without fear of retaliation. Alperton Flowers has established clear internal reporting channels for whistle-blowing and provides guidance on how to escalate concerns. Reports are taken seriously and handled discreetly, in line with our company safeguarding procedures. We ensure that all concerns are investigated thoroughly and appropriate actions are taken.
This Modern Slavery Statement is reviewed annually to ensure its continued effectiveness and alignment with best practice and legal requirements. Alperton Flowers is dedicated to ongoing improvement, adapting our policies and procedures as new challenges and information emerge. We believe that transparency and vigilance are essential in the fight against modern slavery, and we hold ourselves accountable for maintaining these standards across every area of our business.
Alperton Flowers values the trust placed in us by our customers, partners, and the wider community. We view our stance against modern slavery as a reflection of that trust and our role in setting a positive example within our industry. Our pledge is to make a meaningful contribution towards a world free from exploitation, honouring our responsibility to the people we employ, the suppliers we work with, and the customers we proudly serve throughout Alperton.
